"A nice small gem nestled in the streets Of Caserta. We got there at noon and we the first ones. Waiter was very attentive and we ordered house Rossi vino (2) in a carafe. Started with eggplant parmigiana and it came out baked and delicious! Food does not come out right away and that means they are taking their time and making it fresh! All the food comes out at a reasonable time of course! Then we ordered pasta with olive and cod and tomatoes …..sooooo perfect and tasty!! Then can our Fritto seafood mix. Perfection! Finally we had octopus in an olive based red sauce- out of this world delicious! Dessert - chocolate cake either gelato on top! What a way to finish! This ristorante makes FRESH DELICIOUS FOOD THAT HAS WONDERFUL TASTES OF ALL THE INGREDIENTS! Gratzie! BRAVO!!!"

"Siamo stati a pranzo al Bistrot di Mali, eravamo in sei, e l’esperienza è stata semplicemente fantastica. Abbiamo iniziato con una serie di antipasti tipici che ci hanno subito conquistato, ma una menzione speciale va alla parmigiana, davvero straordinaria. Come primi abbiamo voluto assaggiare un pó di tutto: pasta con il soffritto napoletano, pasta e patate, Manfredi con sugo e ricotta, gnocchi friarielli e salsiccia, una tagliata tenerissima e delle linguine con vongole e taralli che erano la fine del mondo. Ogni piatto è stato fatto con cura e amore, e si sentiva in ogni boccone. Davvero tutto troppo, troppo buono. E la cosa incredibile è che, pur essendo in sei e avendo assaggiato così tante cose, abbiamo pagato pochissimo. Un rapporto qualità-prezzo davvero eccezionale. Torneremo sicuramente!"

"Loved this spot, tucked away down a side street in Caserta. The room is bright and comfortable, the service was warm and friendly. I wish I could have tried more on the menu, everything looked delicious. Someone ordered the 'O''Mbruogl' which I wish to try sometime. For lunch had the 'polpette di friarielli' which were excellent and the pasta 'manfredi a ragu con ricotta' also very good, was too full to finish it. Amazing value for the quality. Would love to visit again to try more of their traditional & innovative dishes. Grazie!"

"Cena per due: locale accogliente, cibo eccellente e buon servizio. Dopo gli antipasti eravamo un po’ pieni, dato le porzioni abbondanti, ma non riuscivamo comunque a rinunciare al primo piatto ottimo Rapporto qualità prezzo più che adeguato!"

"Osteria tipica campana, inserita in una location estremamente confortevole e riservata, ideale per chi cerca un’atmosfera accogliente e rilassata. Personale cordiale, gentile e preparato, sempre presente ma mai invadente. In cucina opera una saggia signora dalle mani d’oro, ogni piatto racconta esperienza, passione e amore per la tradizione. Le materie prime sono di primissima qualità, con sapori decisi e ben riconoscibili. La scelta del menù è davvero ampia e ben strutturata. I prezzi sono assolutamente in linea con la qualità e la proposta complessiva. Un’esperienza davvero piacevole. Super consigliato."
